[Winona] Wilkie/Shakespeare

[Thompson, Edward W]

Forum members,

 

I, for one, am rather disappointed in all of these negative postings
regarding the Shakespeare festival, particularly the insults thrown at
both the actors and organizers.  Whether or not you are a "Shakespeare
fan" (I'm not - most of his plays put me to sleep and I have trouble
following the language), this shows a degree of mean-spiritedness which
detracts from the entire public dialogue.  

 

That said, I'm going to buck the obvious tide here.  I think that
supporting the Shakespeare Festival is an excellent use of public (i.e.
tax) money.  It makes Winona a better place to live and I am more than
willing to have my taxes go that way.  We all have things which we
disagree with which are publicly supported, but we have an obligation to
take the broader view of the welfare of our community (that's "Good
Citizenship 101").
